Abstract

A method for adjusting the brightness of a light source is performed according to the status of input voltage which is determined by detecting how and how many times a toggle switch switches state. When a user switches the state of the toggle switch for the first time in order to turn on/off the light, the brightness of the light source gradually increases/decreases within a dimmer period, during which the user may select an appropriate brightness of the light source by giving a swift double-toggle on the toggle switch.
